Lunartik Mini Teas – Series 2 – Hand Finishing – Head Components

This video clip gives you an informal insight of what goes into making “Lunartik in a Cup of Tea” vinyl figures. This video shows the process of cleaning up components once they come out from the Injection machines. This process is all manually done and our dedicated team in China are working flat out this week working on the component part of the second series. We hope this video shows you the more human side to the manufacturing process! Cheers, Matt JOnes

Prosin Molds designed and built a 2 colour mold for a system that runs in a conventional molding machine. Introduced at the NPE show in Chicago, the system ran flawlessly for the entire week. The system featured: A 10 cavity, 2 colour mold. In mold action to separate the materials. Injection timed bonding of the materials. Mold mounted injection unit for the secondary material. Fused Cooling Technology: Superior consistency for better part quality. Accesses difficult areas to decrease cycle time. Minimizes pressure drop, reducing energy demands on process services.

2010 Awards for Excellence in Powder Metallurgy – Components Category – OBE

The 2010 Awards for Excellence in Powder Metallurgy are organised by the European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA) and coincided with the World PM2010 Congress & Exhibition, Florence, Italy. The 2010 EPMA Awards for Excellence in Powder Metallurgy Competition helps to recognise and promote powder metallurgy (PM) components, materials and equipment as cost effective and real alternatives to competing manufacturing processes. OBE – Locking Device for Spectacles For this revolutionary and extremely small locking device for spring hinges in spectacles the minimized size is combined with a complex shape due to the huge quantity per year needed – it is produced in a 32 cavity mould. This component was designed from the beginning as a part made out of metal injection moulding.This component of only 0.028 g needs a high precision which only Metal Injection Moulding could guarantee. For a safe locking function the geometry of the part had to be designed with special features. Further information and details on the featured product as well as all the 2010 Awards for Excellence in Powder Metallurgy can be seen at www.epma.com

Audi R8 V10 and R8 GT Lightweight Carbon Fiber Components

www.eurocarnews.com – Audi AG – Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) are a particularly intriguing group of materials, particularly the carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP). Audi already offers a number of CFRP components for the interior and the body, primarily in the R8 model family. These range all the way up to load-bearing structural elements such as the side walls and the cover for the top compartment in the R8 Spyder. In future models, Audi plans to use CFRP components manufactured using the much more efficient RTM (resin transfer molding) process in the vehicle structure. With RTM, the dried fiber fabric is first draped (formed) before being placed in a closed, heated die and injected with synthetic resin at high pressure. This ensures that the fabric is thoroughly saturated and cured under pressure and temperature. The experts at Production Technology Development have developed specialized expertise in both draping and injection, enabling them to optimize the production process in advance. The new CFRP parts will reinforce steel or aluminum components or will serve as independent components in the structure. Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic is not only around 60 percent lighter than steel, it is a designer material that allows the mechanical designers to freely define many component properties. CFRP components perform best when they are designed to absorb forces coming from a single direction. The individual layers of fiber fabric placed over top of one another in

how to make a tight seal between two metal components?

Question by makk: how to make a tight seal between two metal components?
hi..i am doing a project on auto suction of raw materials from the bin to hopper…This project is on Thermo set injection molding machine.The raw material is so fine powder like particles…the problem i felt is when the suction is in process, these fine powders is leaking out between the small gap between the lid and the hopper…welding between these two will affect the preventive maintenance work….
so please help me to figure this out….

Answer by richardw
It sounds like you need to get a gasket. There are lots of kinds of gaskets, so you’re going to have to shop around. Size, pressure, temperature and materials are going to be some important factors to consider, among others.

Without more information about your machine, there isn’t much more I can help you with.

A rough ball park figure for the cost of an injection moulder for small components? (Including everything.?

Question by $i: A rough ball park figure for the cost of an injection moulder for small components? (Including everything.?
I just wanted to know out of interest how much plastic injection moulders cost designed to produce small components (the size of a brick.) Including the mould and all of the machinery. I’m just looking for a rough estimate (£100,000? £1000,000?) Thanks.

Well ..normally injector cost around 80k-100k
but it depends what company are you going with ….
my uncle went to auction is chicago..there he found a rooler or 106,000 dollars and at same pace in auction the chinese roller or same function and same size in just 6000 dollars

So depends ..my friend
